Features of this application system

  • When filling in your details, pay attention to the passport number (top right corner of your passport information page) and the validity of your passport. These two details appear on the visa. If one of the two details is not correct on the visa, the visa application must be applied for and paid again.
  • After completing the application form, you cannot go back into the system for a correction.
  • You must make an appointment at the end to complete and complete the application form.
  • If you go to the consulate in person, you must come on the day of the appointment because you cannot show up earlier than the scheduled appointment date. If you do not make an appointment, you will not be able to complete the application form. Even if the appointment falls on a date when you are already in Ghana, you should make an appointment. Calling the consulate is useless!
  • If we apply for your visa, we will go directly to the consulate as soon as we receive your application. Unlike you, we are not bound by the appointment date you have made!
  • Your passport.
  • We need to have the passport physically, so no copy.
  • Your passport must still be valid for at least 6½ months after the validity of the visa (ie one and a half year valid if it is an annual visa).
  • The passport must have at least two blank facing visa pages.
  • One color passport photo.
  • Note that these photos are according to the Dutch standard of ‘passport photo’, that is to say, looking forward, white background, do not laugh and do not show teeth.
  • Wearing glasses in the photo is not permitted
  • Nine times out of ten, the consulate does not accept a photo from your own printer. If you do so, make sure you use gloss paper and there are no stripes visible from the print.
  • Do not staple the photo to the application form, but rather use a Pritt stick. If you do not have a Pritt stick, please include your loose photo and we will attach it to the form for you.
  • Do not stick the photos with adhesive tape

Other conditions that you must pay extra attention to:

  • The photos may not be older than 3 months
  • The photos may not be the same as on the passport unless the passport is not older than 3 months
  • The photos must have a white background.

For the visa application, you must be vaccinated against yellow fever. You must enclose a copy of the yellow booklet, within the valid stamp that you have been vaccinated against yellow fever.

The importance of a visa

If you are traveling to other EU member states, then as a Dutch passport holder you do not need a visa. Many travelers are therefore not used to having to apply for a visa.

Only if you are traveling through Ghana to a 3rd destination, you may stay in the country for a few days without a visa. The number of days that you can stay in the country without a visa depends on the Ghanaian city in which you are staying and the airline with which you are flying. Because there are all kinds of hooks to these regulations, we advise you to apply for a visa at all times before you leave so that you will not be faced with any surprises.
